Emergency services flocked to a residential street in Haverhill following concerns for a man's safety.

Suffolk Police were called at 4.50pm this afternoon (Tuesday, May, 23) to a semi-detached home on Castle Lane.

As of 7pm, police cars and a forensics van could be seen outside the property but the force would not elaborate any more on why they were there apart from concerns for a man's safety.

A spokesman from the East of England Ambulance said: “We received a call today at 4.42pm to reports of a person in cardiac arrest at an address in Haverhill.

“We dispatched an ambulance officer, rapid response vehicle, and air ambulance from the Essex and Herts Air Ambulance Trust to assist.”

The spokesman would not reveal the condition of the person, suggesting it was a police matter.
